Soft Hand-for-Hand Begins

Tournament Director Paul Campbell has announced to the final two tables that he'll be implementing soft hand-for-hand.

He'll be monitoring both tables hand counts, and if one table gets ahead by two hands, he'll pause that table and force the other to catch up.

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Seth Davies
Seth Davies

Koray Aldemir opened for 12,000 in the cutoff and got action from Dan Smith on the button and Seth Davies in the big blind. Action checked to Smith on {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and he bet 15,000. Davies shoved for 70,000 and Aldemir quickly folded. Smith called just as quickly.

Smith: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Davies: {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Both had draws but Smith had the best of it with the nut flush draw. The {a-Spades} turn cut down on Davies' outs as he now needed to make a straight. The {4-Spades} river didn't do it for him.
